Nostr Web Client

Everyone saying custodial zaps are okay or that UX is too hard is wrong. We can do better and shouldn't settle for less.

Will have a PoC version ready later this week that should allow any self-custodial wallet to have a lightning address with minimal trust assumptions.

Looking forward to this!

wow yet another spot where an authenticated async relay protocol would fix the problem

Carman 2y ago

Eh, not the same benefits. This give you some privacy on lightning by not revealing your actual lightning node and can be later reworked for async payments so the user doesn't need to be online.

I was imagining the authentication to part prevents a zaptunnel relay from stealing, not for privacy

Carman 2y ago

The zap tunnel can always just give it's own invoices if it wants to steal. You can't really prevent that

Dan Gould 2y ago

couldn’t that be prevented with a MAC from the destination on the invoice?

Carman 2y ago

Lnurl doesn't really support anything like that

Dan Gould 2y ago

Looks like LUD 12 allows a comment where one could put a MAC associated with an invoice & nsec-derived key. nostr client could verify with the mac that the invoice came from a particular npub
